By the sound in Roos' shift in opinions of late, it looks like he wants to bash the door down and come back and takeover. He is clearly as frustrated as us.

Maybe the players are en masse tanking to facilitate just that scenario

I'll place a jk here lest someone think I'm serious.

Good idea to tank in such a strong draft (first round), worked really well for us in the past too.

No premiership for over 50 years and no finals for over 10 years?

This is the darkest timeline

Golly, would I love to have Roos re-join as Coach. Golly, would I love to have Roos steering the FD. Golly, would I love to have Roos mentoring and guiding our team. Golly, would I like to give Roos all of our lists to develop and re-create a MFC dynasty with a record-breaking series of Grand Final wins. Ten million dollars each year from members and DL members, and the Let's Kill Collingwood Appreciation Society. Go-o-olly, in the best of Gomer Pyle traditions.

55 years. Of which only 11 have been finals years. Melbourne supporters should get their own bronze memorial outside the MCG.

Since for many years a team only had 1 chance in 3 or getting into finals and now it's 1 in 2, you could argue that 11 is not so bad.   But I wouldn't dare do so.

Especially as Adelaide gets our first rounder again this year. They would love it.

Haha, perfect! The knightmares begin, only Melbourne could possibly do something like that! And then get fined for it before realissing, no first rounders here, neville, here no first rounders.

Leaving out 1998-2006, how many years have we played finals?

Believe outside those Daniher years it’s only been 5 times? Whatever the number is, it’s pathetic and embarrassing. We Melbourne supporters are a resilient bunch to stick by supporting such a lowly club all this time.

Yep so only 6 years in total outside of the Daniher era since 1964, quite sad really.

Remind me again why we got rid of him FFS!

 I remember the 70's and most of the 80's being pretty miserable.
At least we had Flower.

And the new age back slappers wonder why the supporters who have endured more than their share of
garbage over the years are frustrated now.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
